Forget the spring-breakers; Cancún is for lovers! Don’t let this Yucatán destination’s party rep confuse you: With a mere four-hour flight from Philly, honeymooners can find their own quiet paradise among 14 miles of white sand beaches, all while taking in the glorious weather and keeping busy with plenty of daytime excursions and nighttime diversions.

Cancún’s history as a tourism destination means it’s well suited to meet any visitor’s whim, and these days, the region’s profile has been raised even higher in the luxury world with the addition of Nizuc Resort & Spa, a brand-new first-class resort designed by renowned Mexican architect and interior designer Alejandro Escudero and located on a tranquil peninsula at the southern tip of Cancún’s hotel zone.

Almost the exact look on my friend’s face when she realized her ring was gone. (Shutterstock)

As she was heading out for a night in New York City, my friend Rebecca took off her lovely emerald-cut engagement ring and placed it in her lap to put on some hand lotion.

“It was lotion, lotion, lotion, some conversation with my friends and before you know it we were all jumping out of the car to go into the restaurant,” she tells me. “I was distracted. I didn’t even remember the ring was in my lap until the next morning as I was getting dressed.”

The Ring: The ring is made from platinum and features a stunning center stone. It’s a two-prong setting that swirls around the diamond to keep it safe. The ring was designed by Diana Vincent in Washington Crossing, PA. Larry picked it out all by himself, but he knew I had my eye on this particular designer! I wanted something unique and modern, unlike all of the antique designs I’ve been inundated with recently. It’s simple and elegant and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. My favorite part is the fact that Diana’s workshop is local and they don’t mass-produce their jewelry; they custom make every single ring.

If you think it’s romantic to cuddle up with your beau and remain snuggled through the night, good news: A new study says partners who sleep touching each other are happier than those who don’t.

Our friends at Be Well Philly report that researchers at University of Hertfordshire in England found that 94 percent of couples who sleep so that they’re touching say they are “happy” with their relationship, while only 66 percent of people who don’t touch could say the same thing.
